BlackBerry 10 Dev Alpha unboxing video

If you aren't a developer and won't be able to pick up a BlackBerry 10 Dev Alpha for yourself, you can still check out this unboxing video from forums member SCrid2000. Registered developers who attended BlackBerry 10 Jam were able to pick up their devices early this morning so they can start porting their apps to BlackBerry 10. Keep in mind that this is not the final BlackBerry hardware or software - it's just a prototype device for developers to use to ensure their apps work on BlackBerry 10 devices.

BlackBerry 10 Dev Alpha unboxing video

No wonder gaylar from the three biggest letter (ASS) in tech is so frustrated. He was not given one! And their fans are here to read about it!!! Go back where you belong haters. If we #bbpeople are not significant then leave us alone.

I'm a regular reader of these posts and I'm a big believer in BB because it's a great platform for what I need. I'm currently carrying a 9900 and Playbook and love them both. HOWEVER I was *angry* following my viewing of this "video". Maybe I'm not geek enough but this was a colossal waste of my time. Get serious guys...

Lol, such anger and hatred over a simple video.
It was filmed with a 9650 cuz that's what I have and can afford. No one else filmed it because everyone else was opening there own developer alphas as well.
You're welcome to buy me a HD camera, and send a camera crew down here. Or you can ome down yourself and shoot as good a video as you want - I was really far more concerned with getting the thing open and checking it out, but I did spare some time to shoot the video.
You're welcome :)

Reading the comments here...it's mindnumbingly ridiculous, the level of maturity and intelligence associated with some of the members of CB.

I feel like I'm a teachers assistant in an elementary school, with all the freaking whining that some of these so-called "adults" express. What happened to the old adage "if you have nothing nice to say, then STFU!"??

SCrid2000, thanks for repping us at BBWC/BBJam. Thanks for the s#*tty video, showcasing an awesome development in smartphone technology. I felt like I was watching a UFO landing, and you were the "Leader" that these visitors asked to be taken to. Thanks for the raw, 1st hand, hot off the press, REGULAR user/dev account and unboxing.

Most of all, thanks for even taking ANY of your time to share your excitement with us. You could have easily coveted that moment alone - I'm sure these selfish crybabies who are complaining, would have greedily gone to their corner to slob over...nevermind.

Hmmm well didn't really like how the PlayBook looks and now they have their new blackberry looking like a smaller version of the PlayBook? Hmm dunno what to think about that.. But interesting.. I dunno if I would be up for another blackberry this year just have to wait and see

have you not been reading this is not a phone they are going to release its a beta test phone for developers to test their apps!!! geeez dont people understand dammiT!!!!! READ REEAD READ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I wish it actually ran the BB10 interface we saw in the keynote, but it just runs a different version of the PlayBook OS that's made for smaller screens. Nevertheless, it's enough for developers to get their apps tested on it before the official BB10 OS and devices come out.
